Alavés: The Basque side has shown signs of resilience, including an impressive win over Girona. Still, they remain just above the relegation zone and must stay sharp against elite opposition.
Real Madrid: After a pair of recent losses, including a Champions League setback, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will be eager to respond. With Vinícius Jr. and Mbappé leading the line, Real Madrid still poses one of Europe’s most potent threats.
Key Players to Watch
Alavés
- Kike García: The experienced striker will be key to converting limited chances on the break.
- Luis Rioja: A creative winger with pace, capable of unsettling Madrid’s full-backs.
- Antonio Blanco: Former Madrid midfielder, likely to be motivated to impress against his former club.
Real Madrid
- Kylian Mbappé: The superstar forward will look to exploit Alavés’ defensive gaps with his pace and sharp finishing.
- Jude Bellingham: A dynamic box-to-box presence who controls the midfield tempo and frequently contributes goals.
- Thibaut Courtois: Expected to return in goal, the Belgian remains one of the most reliable shot-stoppers in world football.
